'SiN Episode 1: Emergence' Goes Gold

Ritual announced today that SiN Episode 1: Emergence has officially gone gold and is headed off to replication for release on May 10. Elexis Sinclaire and her sworn enemy, John R. Blade, face off in Freeport City, a near-future mixture of San Francisco, Tokyo and New York, all set inside the unrestricted SiN universe.

The upcoming SiN Episodes chapter entitled Emergence is the first in a series of episodic adventures powered by the award-winning Source engine developed by Valve. Delivered on Steam, the online content delivery system, Sin Episodes takes a bold new step into the future of gaming.

SiN Episodes expands on the role of Colonel John R. Blade, a battle worn hero in charge of HardCorps, an elite strike force with a long history of conflict with SinTEK, a powerful multibillion dollar empire headed up by Elexis Sinclaire, a beautiful, brilliant, and ruthless scientist who is out to remake humanity according to her own twisted vision. Joining Blade on his mission are JC, a HardCorps hacker with a secret to keep, and Jessica Cannon, a fiery rookie who can find her way into any secure facility.

SiN Episodes: Emergence features never before seen weapons, characters and environments along with a host of interactive options, paying homage to its predecessors, SiN and its expansion pack, Wages of SiN, which set a new bar for interactivity.

SiN Episodes: Emergence will be available in retail outlets on May 10, 2006.
